Woke up an hour early today. Not because I wanted to. Last day/night of being on call.

This is my cat Georgie and I’m making spicy sun-dried (dehydrated) tomatoes today!

What a beautiful kitty. Tell Georgie hello for me.

He's so pretty! What are you going to use the tomatoes for?

For now im gonna put them in a jar and use them as snack food. Maybe throw on top of a salad. I’m on a dehydration kick lately. Here are dehydrated, kale, cabbage, beans, and onion. I’m stocking up so that I can make ultralight backpacking food.
